When an LK-DMIS program is executed we can create two output files, DMIS and VENDOR.

The creation of these files is controlled via the DISPLY command and VFORM commands.

For example:

V(0)=VFORM/ALL
DISPLY/TERM,V(0),STOR,V(0),DMIS(V0)

The TERM minor word causes vendor output to be displayed on the screen, the STOR,V(0) creates a vendor output text file and STOR,DMIS,V(0) creates a DMIS output file.

The actual files created are defined in the File>Open dialog box and default to the same name as the part program. For example, if the DMIS program is CHECK.DMI then the VFORM output will be CHECK.RES and the DMIS output will be CHECK.OUT.

If you wish you can change these filenames by double clicking these filenames in the File>Open dialog. Here you could specify the file as being on the A drive.

The DMIS specification does allow for program control of these output devices but these have not been implemented by LK at present.
